Man, 70, puts fork into penis ‘to achieve sexual gratification’
No forking way, right?
A 70-year-old man arrived at the Canberra Hospital's Emergency Department with a 10cm fork stuck in his penis.
That's according to a write-up in the International Journal of Surgery Case Reports last month.
It said the steel cutlery item was inserted “into the urethra to achieve sexual gratification”.
The fork, which was not visible, had been lodged in the organ for 12 hours before the man sought treatment.
It was finally retrieved via “forceps traction and copious lubrication” after multiple methods were considered.
“An open excision was not required,” the report added. The patient went home after the procedure.
“The motives for insertion of a variety of objects are difficult to comprehend,” the report said.
It also noted though that "it is apparent that the human mind is uninhibited let alone creative".
The report on the procedure can be found here, but, be warned, the PDF contains graphic images.
